Bernie Vince Re-Signs for 2018

[RalphiusMaximus 6,098]

I'd like him to stick around for another year or so as he is still a class player.  That being said, we've reached the point where we have the depth to cover his loss should he decide he needs to go home.  If he does leave us, all we can do is think him for joining a club in such a shocking state and helping to build us up to the point where we are considered a legitimate contender.  I wish him well regardless.

Emily's a cool chick, give her a break. ?

Doubt the rumour is talking about pre-retirement though. And even if it is, I doubt either of Adelaide or Port would want him now anyway.

Him: "Wants to go back to Adelaide."

 

Doesn't matter Ron, Dazzle says he's finished.

Personally I'd be disappointed, he was terrific against the Saints and has played with a hideous toe since.

Who's Emily?

Some Sheila with a list - friend of Gillard I believe, and she comes from Adelaide so it must be true.  "There will be no Vince at Melbourne whilst I am on a parasitic parliamentary pension"

While I disagree that he is 'finished', he is coming towards the end.

Not a big deal if he retires. Even better if we got a third rounder in return.

 

Won't get anything in return if he retires, NC.

You have issues. 

This topic is completely different to what i started. 

Personally i don't believe in this rumour because of his business interest in real estate. But he can do the exact same thing in Adelaide aswell. If his missus is getting extremely homesick then whats to say that Bernie decides to retire at years end.

[Its Time for Another 4,293]

He probably does want to move back to SA..............when his career's finished!  That is more likely to be the end of next season or at a pinch the season after. Doubt very much it will be the end of this season. Unless pushed by a very unconvincing contract extension offer. 

One of the most likeable footy personalities I've seen. Has been an awesome ray of optimism in the darkest days when he first arrived. Go Bernie. Hope to see at least another 1 or maybe 2 seasons. Job done by then.

Yep, Emily's okay.

Her Dad's apparently super connected at Port.

'Nat Fyfe's thin black headband has become synonymous with his playing style' - huh?

The AFL should ban the Hun from reporting on football.

This was accidentally posted in the wrong thread.

Or maybe it wasn't?

The plot thickens.

I actually think I know Emily, all BS aside. If it's the girl I think it is, I'm serious about her being a good chick. 

Hope the Bernie stuff is BS though.

[Skuit 10,031]

You know what I think is suspicious? I've never met a single person named Rory. There's clearly something untoward going on in Adelaide.

Bernie said he'd go home to SA when his football days were over, he's a South Australian lad and that's fair enough.

Personally I'd like to see him play again, at least next year, we still don't have a lot of experienced players and he's still one of our better players, we seem to want to write off players on here if they have a bad game or two. Put Bernie back in the action and he'll be ok, his kicking was one of his strengths when he crossed over to us and he doesn't have a problem finding the ball.

Bern gets the ball to his foot faster than any player I've seen before and this may not suit the new game plan, perhaps that's why he's not playing midfield now, maybe the fast kick out of the centre doesn't suit.

He played a sensational game against Dangerfield a few years ago and since that time he's crossed the line a bit more than he should, he just needs to get his discipline back.

 

[Dee Dee 1,126]

If possible I'd like to see Bernie play at least 33 more games for the Dee's.

I think you're doing this name dropping thing all wrong Ron.....

[JV7 2,361]

Not to put a dampener on a great win yesterday & sitting nicely in 6th spot BUT does anyone else think Bern is cooked ? He played well running with Sloane a few weeks ago but he's seemed to have lost a yard of pace, he's decision making & execution is horrible lately.. That simple chip kick that he missed resulting in a goal, the little paddle backwards late in the game in defensive 50.. Yeah in isolation they are only a couple of errors but I'm finding myself nervous when he goes near the ball now which was usuall the complete opposite, I wouldn't be suprised if he is out of the best 22 come seasons end

I agree he had a poor game yesterday. I remember one play where Oliver found him with a beautiful handball and instead of kicking long into the forward line he tried to go back and fluffed the kick.

I think he plays better when he uses his long kicking. Should be played more half forward I think.

Don't think he is cooked though.

[Demon Disciple 12,284]

He is close, but not done just yet. Give him a run on the wing or up forward.

[Skuit 10,031]

Put in the yards to effect an important spoil in the 4th. The mind is willing . . .

[Biffen 12,947]

He is too bloody handsome to live in Adelaide.

I think he will get a job on the T.V.

After he has finished his contract.

No harm in resting him now and then over the next 1.5 seasons.

26 games to get to 100 in red and blue. make it happen!

just imagine all the father sons..... every 2nd kid in Adelaide born in the last decade 

[KingDingAling 3,758]

I remember when Adelaide dropped Vince for some minor indiscretion, and I had the pleasure of watching him play SANFL. I think he had over 50 touches. He was far too good for that level and I remember thinking this guy is a footballers footballer. He was just a ball magnet that day. It is mostly for that reason that I see Vince playing a few more years at our club. I know he may look cooked at the moment, and you aren't the first to mention it - I have heard it on big footy as well. But Vince is a pure footballer IMO, and it is only a matter of time until he comes good. I will say, I am surprised that he is so down in form atm though. It is worrying, but I have faith he will come good.
